July 19-21, 2024: at Baltimore (3)
Game 1: 6-4 W. WP-Baz (4-4, 6 3 0 0 2 9). S-Pressly (2/11). HR-Albies (13). More like it from Baz in his best start of the year. Wander was 2-5 with 2 RBI.
Game 2: 3-2 W. WP-Swanda (11-3, 6 5 1 1 0 6). S-Pressly (3/12). HR-J.Lowe (10), W.Franco (12). Swanda continues to look like an ace, and all 3 runs came on those 2 homers with Wander going 3-4.
Game 3: 5-3 W. WP-McClanahan (13-3, 5.2 7 3 3 1 6). S-Taylor (5/12). HR-Bregman 2 (21). Bregman brought the Rays back from an early 2-0 deficit with a solo homer and a 3-run shot and Albies added an RBI triple.
Team record: 67-33. We're on a roll now, 14-2 in July and the division lead expanded again to 6 1/2 over the Yankees. Next up: Back home for 3 vs Detroit.
Transaction: We let Ian Seymour stay the weekend with the big club and he had another nice 1 1/3 scoreless in the third game, but afterwards he was sent back to Durham and Caleb Ferguson was activated. To make room for Ferguson on the 40-man, Jonathan Aranda was DFA'd.
MLB News: Houston, which has remarkably turned its season around from a 14-35 start (which started with a 3-game sweep of us in May) to go above .500 at 51-50 lost starter Luis Garcia for the year with a torn labrum.
